In the final days of the midterm election campaign, US President Donald Trump held rallies in Kansas and Iowa, while Democrats faced internal divisions in Michigan. US Representative Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, surprising party leaders. Meanwhile, a federal judge dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to block election results in Alaska if Republican Senator Dan Sullivan narrowly loses. The midterm elections, with control of Congress at stake, have seen record spending and high voter turnout. Democrats need to gain three more seats in the House and four in the Senate to take control. Key issues include housing affordability, with both parties promising to address it, and the impact of rising costs on voters. The outcome of the elections could influence the 2028 presidential campaign and potentially lead to investigations into the Trump administration's activities.
